Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 514 Ao Guang's Request

There is no problem for the Four Dragon Kings to come to the Heavenly Palace, as they are originally part of the Heavenly Palace's rule. However, even if Ao Guang had two guts, he would not dare to go to the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, let alone use the treasures of heaven and earth to bribe Yuanshi Tianzun. Now that the Phoenix has let go of most of the dragon clan and left Kuilong to take the blame, it seems that there is no problem with this approach.

Ao Guang was only responsible for paying the money. He didn't want to get involved in the specific grievances between the dragon clan masters, nor did he dare to get involved.

"Okay, I'll follow you, fellow Daoist!"

The dragons returned to the East China Sea, all with lingering fears. They praised the Four Sea Dragon Kings verbally before returning to their homes. The first thing they did upon returning home was sleep, to calm their nerves. As for Kuilong? Who was that? We didn't even know him!

Ao Guang did not return to the East China Sea. Seeing that the old Dragon King was heartbroken and crying, the Phoenix rarely made a serious suggestion.

"There's a market in the underworld where immortals exchange goods. It's now called the Ghost Market. I discussed this with Taibai Jinxing a while ago. While the Ghost Market is great, it's ultimately not up to par, not legitimate, and doesn't reflect the magnanimity of Heaven. Heaven would be better off building a larger, more standardized market."

Luobao Jinqian was born too late, and the concept of currency had not yet been formed. Nowadays, the transaction form in the three realms is almost zero, and it is basically a self-sufficient model.

Before, when Deng Chanyu needed some spirit stones, she had to go to Mount Tai to dig them herself. This was simply unbearable for Deng, who was used to taking out her mobile phone to buy things. Although she found free strong laborers to help with the work, it took two months to dig, which was really inconvenient.

Build a real immortal market, where people can exchange what they have and what they need, and all the immortals in the world can benefit from it.

Deng Chanyu's family was poor, she had limited manpower, and she didn't want to be the first to take the lead, so she had never done anything about it. But now the Four Seas Dragon King's lavish spending made her see the possibility of establishing the Immortal Market.

She was building palaces, attics, and martial arts training grounds, and all kinds of renovations were done on her side. The assets of the Four Seas Dragon Palace were indeed cleared out, but the aquatic creatures under them still had some resources. Considering the obedient nature of the dragon clan's bloodline, they could quickly gather enough wealth by plundering from below.

Instead of letting it gather dust in the warehouse, it is better to take it out and use it as a starting point to establish this Xianjia Market.

"I need to go back and discuss this with my brothers."

Ao Guang was able to manage the huge East China Sea Dragon Palace in such an orderly manner. In addition to the influence of his ancestors, he also had the ability himself.

He could naturally see the benefits of the market, and as for the problem of a big tree attracting wind, that was easy to say. It was already attracting a lot of wind, so it wouldn't matter if it got bigger. If they really couldn't hold it, they could just give the whole market to Haotian, and they would definitely not lose anything.

He asked, "What are the rules for establishing this market?"

Phoenix shook her head. She only wanted the convenience of this market, not to make money. "I don't know, but you can ask Taibai Jinxing on the Dragon King's behalf."

Asking Taibai Jinxing was the same as asking Haotian. Ao Guang naturally understood the key point and nodded hurriedly: "That's very good, that's very good."

He walked out, and after taking three steps, he suddenly remembered something, and this time there was obvious hesitation on his face.

Phoenix was not in a hurry and waited for him to speak.

Ao Guang pondered for a moment, then decided to speak directly: "I wonder if you, Master, have ever heard of Jingwei?"

Every child knows the story of Jingwei filling the sea, and the Phoenix knows it not only in this life, but also in previous lives.

"Have heard a little bit."

Ao Guang pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, the daughter of Emperor Yan drowned in the East China Sea. After her death, her spirit refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation and transformed into a Jingwei bird, vowing to fill up the East China Sea."

He gave a somewhat stiff smile. "Jingwei and Haiyan married and gave birth to the Jingwei clan. Their descendants, biting branches and throwing stones, vowed to fill up the East China Sea. Their spirit is commendable, but it is impossible to succeed. Perhaps the True Lord can persuade them to give up this idea."

Does this matter have anything to do with me? A question mark appeared above Phoenix's head.

What is the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan?

What species is the Jingwei bird? It is a flying bird.

By this calculation, perhaps a powerful Phoenix clan member was involved. Although she and Kong Xuan repeatedly used the Dragon Clan to boost their reputation, the Dragon Clan's foundation was actually greater than that of the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan combined.

The Phoenix Clan is scattered everywhere, either serving as boys or as mounts. Although there seem to be many with names and surnames, in fact this "family" has been broken up. Not to mention the Phoenix, even if the Yuanfeng comes out again, it will be useless.

Now the Phoenix Clan is in a state of not only existing in name but also dead in reality. No matter who is behind Jingwei, the Phoenix's words will definitely not count.

However, she sympathized with Jingwei's experience.

The emperor's daughter drowned at the seaside. Does this plot sound familiar? This is exactly the same as the story of the Goddess of Luo River being drowned by Feng Yi.

You deserve to die, so I am gentle.

The difference is that Luoshen is a love-brained person. When she saw Feng Yi was handsome and elegant, she immediately obeyed him. However, Jingwei refused to obey him until her death. After her death, her spirit turned into Jingwei bird, and she vowed to fill up the East China Sea so that her descendants would have endless blessings.

The Phoenix asked bluntly, "Who drowned Jingwei that day?"

Ao Guang's face was very ugly. He struggled for a long time before finally saying, "It's definitely not Xiaolong."

Fenghuang had a blank expression. “Of course I know it wasn’t you. King Zhou chased you for three miles with a sword in hand, and you didn’t dare to fight back. Emperor Yan’s humanity is much greater than King Zhou’s. How dare you lay a hand on Emperor Yan’s daughter?”
She randomly guessed, "Could it be that Taoist Duobao did this?"

Ao Guang quickly shook his head: "No, no."

"That's Zhao Gongming?"

".This seems to have nothing to do with the Jiejiao Immortal."

"Could it be the Duke of Dong?"

"Is he the immortal from Penglai Island?"

"Is it a giant from Longbo Country?"

Ao Guang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After thinking it over again and again, he swallowed his words back before he was about to speak.

".Well, this little dragon really doesn't know."

"If you don't know, how can I help you?"

"It's Xiaolong Menglang. It's Menglang. Xiaolong, goodbye."

Ao Guang didn't dare to say more and said goodbye and left.

Phoenix looked at his back and fell silent for a moment.

Is this Jingwei thing troublesome? Actually, it is quite troublesome.

How could the vast East China Sea be filled up with just twigs and small stones? It simply could not be filled up, and the Great Heavenly Dao would not allow the East China Sea to be filled up.

Jingwei's spirit is worthy of admiration, but the actual result is cruel. Even if she finally fills up the East China Sea, an ending countless times more tragic than her own death will be waiting for her. What's more, she cannot fill it up at all. This is the ruthlessness of the laws of nature.

The old fellow Ao Guang still had some good intentions. He didn't want to see the Jingwei clan doing something that could never be completed. At a time when the rulers of the three realms chose to turn a blind eye, he reminded Fenghuang. He did have the intention of taking advantage of Fenghuang's kindness, but he himself also sympathized with Jingwei.
